I think I know what happened. But not how.

I also find it wierd there is no domain (if there's a welcome screen then there is no domain). But it may be a novel network.

Wgen a profile is unavailable for a reason windows creates a new one. That seems to have happened here.

But we really need to know how the network is configured. Because windows works differently depending on it.

I have this thought. That you were on a domain but no longer. But we need to know the network cfg.
